Little Monster Easter Egg Crochet Pattern

I’ve had this idea in my head for a year now, but it’s finally come to something. So, from my last post, you might have deduced that I like Kinder Eggs. The German ones have a little yellow cylinder in them that holds a toy and I’ve seen those little yellow “eggs” disguised as all sorts of fun crochet creatures. But we don’t get Kinder Eggs here, so I’m disguising a plastic Easter egg instead. Same concept. Use this monster easter egg crochet pattern to create a friend who opens his mouth to hold a little toy or a little bit of candy!

Because you’re not stuffing the body of the pattern, the body has to be created in two parts and stitched together. All of my rounds are worked continuously, with no seams.

Flatten the piece and sc together. Fasten off but leave a long tail. Sew to the bottom of the egg body.

Face:

1. Cut out circles in white, blue and black felt. Cut a tiny piece of white felt for the “glimmer” in his eye. Hot glue the layers together to make the eye, then glue the eye to the body.

2. Cut out triangles from the white felt and glue to the inside of the body for the teeth.

Finishing:

Put a dab of glue on the bottom half of the plastic egg and press firmly into the bottom of the body. Also secure the edge of the bottom piece with glue. Do the same with the top half of the plastic egg. The plastic egg should be able to close tightly and open when you give it a light squeeze.

Fill your little monster with Easter treats!

Hide him among the other Easter eggs.

Ahhh, thanks Tara! I got some Kinder eggs in Taiwan, but they’re different than the German ones with the little yellow container in the middle. These break in half with candy on one side, toy on the other.

I die over the cuteness!! Oh my goodness, these are the cutest Easter idea EVER! Makes me want to take up crochet for the first time in a long, long while 🙂 Pinning and sharing like crazy- great work, ChiWei!

Yeah! I know, right? I hear it’s something about small pieces and choking hazards for kids, blah blah, you know, because we’re all super paranoid here or something. I got some when I went back to Taiwan but they weren’t the same! Still good though 🙂

I found your crocheted egg monster on craftgawker and think it is beyond adorable! If you have a second, I would love if you came by and linked up at The Blitsy Crafts Linky Party. http://ss1.us/a/wtcjKlt9. We are featuring all “things crochet”. We are choosing 3 of our favorite projects, and those chosen will get $5 in Blitsy credits. Hopefully we see you at our party!

I have crocheted for many years. Your EGG TOP: Round 4: is WRONG. It reads *SC 2, then sc 2 in next stitch, *Repeat from * around. (20sts). Even after your explination to {PAM on March 28, 2014} it is still wrong. (and I have to add, the writing of the pattern is hard to follow in the first place, because the correct writting should be – SC in first sc, or 2 SC in first sc. ETC .) A beginner would never figure this out.) Would you try to explain this pattern better?

Can you explain what you feel is wrong with the pattern? If you SC in each of the next 3 stitches, then 2 SC in next stitch, and repeat that pattern 4 times, that’s a total of 20 stitches, which is what I wrote. As for writing style, well, everyone has their own preferences. I am always available to help answer any questions anyone might have, if something is unclear. Thanks!

cute!!! have to try that, if i manage to understand an english weitten pattern… looots of kinder egg cubes around here so it will be fun to see how it turns out… maybe i just sit down and translate it for myself first haha…

I ran across your adorable pattern and will be giving it a try for my Awana Cubbie group (3-5yr olds). I’m excited to see their faces when we have our “monster” Easter egg hunt! Thankyou for posting your pattern! 🙂

Hi ya… thanks for another brilliant pattern…. I have made crochet eggs and the little monster but I used polystyrene eggs so added a couple of extra rows of crochet and also with the monster I did a whole eggs and then added the arms and legs making them a little longer… they will be on my blog in the next day or so 🙂 thanks again 🙂 hugs me x

Made 3 of these this week for the grandkids. They are adorable, and easy to make. I’m looking to make some glow in the dark yarn (just saw a tutorial) and make another. That should be fun. Thanks for your generosity in sharing the pattern.

Taking the area of the hearts are delicate and in many cases intricate blooms of floral designs. It can fine wine, a sterling silver ball mark or perhaps a putter for the golfer. Bike Lights – Bike lights are practical however they can also add something extra with a bike.

in the very beginning of this pattern for round 4 am i supposed to have 6 sts left unworked from the previous round???…or is the st count supposed to be 36 sts instead???. i have counted & re counted, ripped out & re worked multiple times & everytime i stop that round at 24 sts i am left with 6 sts unworked from the previous round…my 3 year old is begging me to hurry up & finish making her “munders” already & i cant even get past the first 5 minutes of this so far…so i just would like to know if its the st count thats supposed to be 36 not 24 or if those 6 remaining sts are to be left unworked???….thank yyou btw for this…such a cute idea…wish i had found it before easter but theres always next year….

im having the same issue with the next portion of the pattern too…round 3 end of row st count says 16sts but once again, when i reach 16 sts i still have 6 sts of the previous round left unworked…maybe this is intentional or am i doing something wrong???please help….

hahaha….i feel so stupid…haha..i figured it out…i was putting the first sc set of each repeat in the same st, then putting the 2nd set into the next st as well…i was wondering why i was just coming up with a flat circle & it wasnt getting higher just wider & had a f’d up st count…haha…im a total newb to working rounds anyways & it probly doesnt help much that im almost fully self taught…still so so so much to learn….sorry… thanks again for the cute pattern… 🙂
